Publish & Share

Publish & Share Overview

How daily project work becomes controlled, production distribution through Tamaat Server — and how that differs from collaborating inside a project.

Before you begin
  • A project ready to share

There are two different jobs here, and Tamaat keeps them deliberately separate:

  • Distribution is delivering a dependable resource to a wider audience — a public web map, a scheduled pipeline, an API. Distribution goes through Tamaat Server: you Share to Server, which cuts an immutable release into your organization's Non-production environment, and an authorized member Promotes a specific release to Production. Editing your project never changes what Production serves — only Promote (or Rollback) does.
  • Collaboration is working with colleagues inside the project — shares, comments, and versions. Collaboration never touches Server and can't affect anything your audience sees.

Nothing in the daily workspace can target Production directly. That rule is what makes "it's in Production" a statement you can trust.

Next steps
  1. Confirm symbology and sensitive fields, and publish the layer versions you want to pin
  2. Choose Share to Server from the project menu to cut a release into Non-production
  3. Review the release in Server (account menu → Open Server), then Promote it — or collaborate instead

FAQ

Do published map viewers need a Tamaat account?

No. Production web maps are either public or restricted by an access token. Non-production maps are reviewable through expiring preview links, so stakeholders can QA without an account.

I edited my project — why didn't the live map change?

By design. The live map serves the release that was promoted to Production. Share your changes to Server (a new release in Non-production), then promote that release when it's ready. Rollback can restore any earlier release just as quickly.

Who can promote to Production?

Each environment has a protection rule. By default, Production requires an organization admin or owner; analysts request promotion and an approver confirms it, with the decision recorded in the Server activity log.
